Swelling Above Incision 1 Month After Tummy Tuck, Is this Normal? (photo)

Achilds
I had a TT about a month ago. I didn't have massive weight loss, lost about 50 pounds over a year or so, but there was loose skin from having 3 big babies too. I still have my drain in because I am draining over 20cc a day. I see my board certified PS on a regular basis. My concern today is the swelling above the TT incision. Is this normal? It feels like it's getting worse too.
